[15thRegionSlamaBamma]

Here it goes again! Who gets the blame when a team with so much potential to do great doesn't exactly get the job done. The coach of course! In the past two years in the 15th, I have seen so much of this that it has made me sick. See Thomas (Pikeville boys), Rowe (Pike Central and Shelby Valley boys), and now Tussey. All a coach can do to his/her team is teach them the game like offense and defense. Having heart and determination cannot be taught by a coach. I must be done by the will of a player. Believe me I know! So instead of immediately blaming coaches, I think we should first observe the players. Tussey has had talent in her coaching career, especially when she had Amanda (Collins?) and Ashley Melvin. They hit a couple of snags that year, but nobody blamed her then. She is in the same situation now with her players with loads of talent, except she is getting the blame. It should not be up to her to get them out of the hole. It should be up to the girls. TO WIN A GAME MUST BE BASED ON HOW BAD YOU WANT IT!

UF i think i stated in my post that it wasnt all on here im pretty sure that i gave it to both sides. Tussey is a good coach but right now is totaly coaching this team the wrong way. if you knew how the practices are then you would know that she(Tussey) does not focus on a stuctured game but yet a wreckless and abandoned game that last year she did not teach. She focuses on Defence 0% and focuses on offence 5%. Right now every team should b polishing up on their offence and defecive schemes down this little stretch instead of running most of the practices not to say u shouldnt run but they should save the last 10 min of practice for that but instead thats all the lady Hawks do. Tussey just needs to coach and practice like she has in the past instead of trying something new this year. And the Girls need to get their heads out off their Butts and start playing Basketaball.
